Day 2
The met briefing was
followed by a comprehensive guide to flying in the Alps given by Klaus Ohlmann with respect to the expected weather that provided an excellent insight of what may or may not happen. We launched at 12:30 eager to try our newly gained knowledge and what Klaus thought may happen did.
Klaus had warned us that Pic de Morgan might not work as expected so of course G and Jon B decided to see if that was the case and ended up local soaring the field at Lac Ser de Poncon for some time until they managed to scrape away. Meanwhile Dave T and Merv had decided to try the advice regarding what would probably work and had a much more pleasant experience. The forecasted showers became evident and were threatening to arrive at the airfield by 18:00 which curtailed the second sorties somewhat to local soaring. The rain was close but never actually arrived, just a few spots as the gliders were parked at the end of play.
Only 10:46 flown today.
